  3. Thanksgiving is a special holiday in the U.S. But it’s not a special holiday in China. So I never celebrate Thanksgiving before. This is my first time. But I’am not that excite, because I think families get together to eat a large meal and give thanks for all that they have in life is bored. I’am only excited in the big
    meal. My father is thankful to me. He makes my life much better.

  5. First of all I have to thankful for my mother because she’s only one that take care of me since I was in her tummy, and the day that I was born she told me that the most hurtful in her life that she never hurt before, and then i was born she had to take care of me all of 17 years, she had to work hard to get the money enought for take care of me, I just want to thanks god that let she ebe my mom and love me more then the others, that is the most wonderful thing that i never wanted more and nobody can replace her. The second and the last that I want to thankful for this time is that thnks for a chance for me to come to U.S.A. if i did not come here i do not know how my life is will be but now am here i feeling great! and i feel more pround of my self that i doing in school and my life better then the past.

  6. I thankful to have my family and friend, first of all. They always in beside me and take care of me. They are relative importance in my life. Especially my mom, she’s my best friend, advicer, counselor, and exemplar. I’m so thankful I have her. I think girls have many common with their mother so I could feel that. Anyway and I’m very thankful to I have all my diaries which I started to wrote when I was entered to elementary school. They show me all my life, and have my all memories. Well, my letters get my memories too, but I have more interest in my diary for see me. Whole things which I get in my life and who I met are very momentous to me. Whatever they did it gave to me many precepts and experiences. In this thanksgivig, I’m so happy and thankful I could came here, America, and met new people. I loved all of them, also I am, and I will.^^

  8. In Mexico we don’t celebrate thanksgiving, because it is an American custom. In Mexico some people celebrate it because some of thier fami ly lives in the U.S. and that’s why they celebrete it. If some people celebrate thanksgiving, they make a paty with thei family and friends. One part of my family celebrate thanksgiving becuase they live in California. they make food and they drink sodas. But it isn’t a big celebration. This year I’m going to Mexico and California to celebrate thanksgiving with my family. this is the second time that i celebrate it. It is fine to celebrate, because all my family is going to be there in my grandma’s house. So I am going to celebrate it two times, one with my mother’s family and the other with my father’s family.
